[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a dog from zero to 13. I had to give her breakfast and my brother had to give her dinner. At the start of summers my mother would remind us to make sure her water bowl was always full. After the dog went for a walk in the rain we'd use her towel to dry her. By the time I was in third grade I would walk her every day after school. We gave her hanukah presents. When I was sad I would lay down next to her at the top of the stairs and cry to her about all my sad little suburban girl angst. She was in the professional pictures for my older brother's bar mitzvah. I love dogs. It was good for me as a kid, as the youngest person in the family, to learn how to take care of someone else. It's not like when it's your job to throw out the trash. If you don't feed the dog, the dog suffers. So a child feels a stronger sense of responsibility to a pet.[/quote]
